#2 I would think that there would be some type of protests by Vietnamese Americans until Harkin is forced to spin his statement into something else entirely .. as all politicians are wont to do. Vietnamese Americans are certainly more reticent than Cuban Americans.

#3 McCain looked like he'd been punched in the gut. Doesn't he yet realize freedom and liberty have domestic enemies and that Harkin is one of them?

#4 Harkin deserves to have someone who survived the Killing Fields come have a few words with him about those comments...preferably the last words he'll ever hear.

The U.S. Senate has far more fools in it than people of wisdom. We as a nation couldn't do much worse.

#5 What a friggin deluded out-of touch-with-reality pollyanna Harkin is. I suppose when the Titanic went down, it was a good party?

#7 Maybe this will wke McCains dubm ass up about "reaching across the aisle".

Those peopel have no honor and are enemies of the nation and the Republic that it is.

Harkin should be recalled by his state for such a hateful ignorant thing that he said.

Hay Harkin you mental midget, tell it to the boat peopel, the peopel who died in reducation campts, thoe ones who made it here , and msot of all, to the millions who died in the Killing Fields.

Stupd fuckwit.

Whats wrong with Iowa? Filled with idiots.

#8 It isn't just Iowa. When that helicopter took off, Americans tuned out. They're the same ones who have make Hussein the donk of the year.

#9 Oh, god, what a ***king idiot. Yeah, thank you to all the people who voted to put him into office. Thank you, you not only drank the koolaid, you dived in from a great height and swam a couple of laps in it.

Did you, Sen. Harkin, ever actually talk to a ***king Vietnamese boat person? Maybe, some of those who came out in 1975? Someone who looked over the Cambodian killing-fields? I am so sorry, I would be so rude about this idiot Sen. Harkin, if I really cut loose on this topic I would be sink-trapped for sure...

Except for that nasty list, and the deck chairs sliding. It was pretty cool!
